And that's the point.... for one-on-one conventional battle, the gun rules. Even if you were to remove all guns, there would still be the criminals. They would still prey on those they percieve to be weaker. They would use knives, sticks, rocks to aclomplish it. Firearms are the equalizer... with a gun a 95lb. elderly woman can match the 250lb. bruiser coming after her.
